Russia warned Tuesday that American astronauts on the International Space Station could be hurt by new US-led sanctions over the escalating crisis in Ukraine, where pro-Moscow militants seized more public buildings in the east.
Washington was resorting to "Iron Curtain" policies from its Cold War-era playbook with the new Western sanctions, which were driving the Ukraine crisis towards "a dead end", Moscow raged.
A day after the United States and its EU and Japanese allies unveiled fresh punitive measures for what was seen as Russian interference in Ukraine, violence worsened on the ground.
Thousands of pro-Moscow protesters in the city of Lugansk near the Russian border seized control of the regional administrative building, trapping around 200 riot police in the complex's courtyard. Militants in the city already held the local SBU security services building.

That is what the war in Afghanistan was all about - to prevent gas pipeline reaching China through Afghanistan. (for those who overslept highschool geography lesson - China borders with Afghanistan)
And providing steady World supply of poppy as the perk of the job.
The first time the kenyan started flapping his mouth I predicted the US hostages on the ISS would be put in play.
The kenyan is not only a hater of all things American, he also hates all Americans.
Except for:
Negros
Mullatos
Lesbians
Homosexuals
Wall Street and Hollywood donors
People who won’t work
People who won’t think—and cannot think as they are already brainwashed
anyone who self-identifies as liberal (see above, and above)
People who hate our constitution
illegal immigrants (does illegal spark any interest?)

“Moscow raged” and threatened to take American astronauts as hostages. “Thousands of” Russian thugs “in the city of Lugansk near the Russian border seized control of the regional administrative building,” probably using old women as human shields again. That’s a brilliant strategy. Keep it up.
No serious government (and the last 12 years shows us that Putin leads a serious government), especially an oligarchic version, risks losing 50% of it's revenue or even a substantial chunk of it's potential revenue, unless it is for something of such transcendental importance that the other options are much, much worse.

Personally I accept the idea that the reason we have not been contacted is that the rest of the universe cordoned us off as a HAZMAT planet. Who would blame them?
I have long said that Energy should be placed as a natsec issue and thus off limits to greens.
Norm, I have to agree. With the Greys, the Reptiles, the Borg and countless others involved we can only await their decisions. Too many of ‘em.
